Magali studied Art and Philosophy but finally embraced the world of films captived by Charles Bronson’s harmonica, Holly Hunter’s piano and Swayze’s hip-thrust. She worked extensively in film development before writing and directing her first movies.
Her awarded fiction shorts CINDERELA (Brazil, 2011), VIKINGAR (Iceland, 2013 • César & Edda nominee) and EXPIRE (France, 2017 • Méliès d'Or for Best European Fantastic Film, Audi Talents Awards) have screened at festivals around the world, including Cannes, Sitges and Sundance.
Magali is currently developping her first feature film with the support of Cannes Critic's Week Writing Program, Next Step.
